Bruno goals and assists has dried up and his ball possession is better than before.

Kilishihunter:
Maguire that is strong and big enough has been collecting wotowoto from liverpool though they also had mane then, Martinez that made life difficult for a stronger, bigger haaland by repeatedly winding him up last season in the UCL, Anybody that wants to use the brentford game against him is just being mischievous cause almost if not everybody was bad

Ben Mee goal was not an aerial duel with Martinez. They are just trying to force the height agenda.

CapitalCee:
VDB is not first team quality the earlier we admit the better

A player that was not good enough for relegation club - Everton.

I have said it so many times, even if Bruno flops for 20 straight games, VDB won't bench him.

Ellexy:
Dalot had a great game yesterday from what I've seen. Big ups to him for containing Díaz.

We still need a new RB, a GK, a midfielder, an attacker and a striker.

And we might get them

GK - Sommer
Midfielder - FDJ/SMS
RW- Antony
Striker/LW - Cody

We are getting close to the 10 signings Ragnick suggested.

patrickmuf:
If he flops, will it make you happy? We should be praying all our players step up to ensure there's strong competition for places in the team.

He can't play for us, not good enough. As a CM If you can't bench McFred then something must be wrong with your head.

You see Lisandro and Varane? Once they know they're sure starters with no one on the bench ready to take their place their performance level will drop...

I am not a fan of Maguire but I hope his time on the bench sees him more determined to do better when next he plays...We need to have every player fighting to keep their place in the team.

Varane and Martinez should continue as our 1st choice pairing. I can bet that Maguire won't have saved/cleared Bruno's error, he's so clumsy.

Ten Hag's main man Van De Bench might start against Southampton.

Are you minding them. That is how you know people who don't understand the game.

There are lot of tall useless defenders out there and there are lot of good short defender out there. Kounde that they(Chelsea) were after is not tall either, but he's a defending beast as well.

No be by height.

The same bias used to exist for Goalkeepers 8n the past, where they usually go for the tallest ones, but that mentality has changed in the last decade. Now guys like Yan Sommer, Manuel Neur etc has shown that it's not by height either, as evidenced by useless Goalkeepers like de gea who are tall but useless in claiming crosses and in aerial battles

Lol, height doesn't win headers it's timing that wins headers.

They will learn by force.

melodyogonna:
I have a thing for maligned people, I dey always feel like their mental health will take a hit if they're not defended

No wonder you love VDB and OLE

patrickmuf:
McTom is not Manchester United standard...Fred is better...I am not going to argue further with you if you think otherwise though. I used to fall for his agidi but I decided to watch him closely and I saw he was a fraud. How will a DM shy away from receiving a pass from his CBs?

How will a player start for United but can't start for Scotland?

He's a fraud, but better than Fred in the DM position.

BlaqFaze:
Ivan Toney wey be 5'11

Jodera:
Lol, ground duels the guy is excellent. But make I see how the butcher wan fare when Una no go do community defending against small teams sha

You haven't seen a short defender out jumping a tall attacker? Abi how short Canavaro take win ballon d'Or.

Height will give you an advantage but it's not a must-have for a defender. Just like long legs is not a must-have for sprinters

Agadinaagwuofe:
It is too early to assess his performance based on his height disadvantage, many of the small EPL clubs always play the tactics of lumping high balls with a strong and tall CF, someone like Toney, Mateta or even Callum Wilson that is strong aerially and physically might easily bully him off the ball.

The point is you have to wait till season end or even far into the season before you conclude his height wasn't a disadvantage to his performance.

Bully Martinez?? go find out why he was named The Butcher.

The same 5'8 was one of the highest in aerial duels last season. Defending is not by height.

Or do you think Puyol and Cannavaro will struggle in EPL?

5'8 Martinez is a beast, better than any version of big head Maguire

Ronaldo pass

eph12:
Our 5'8 CB

No be by height

Odunharry:
Nice defending from Martinez

MOTM

Rashnaldo

So close

Rashford is back

All clear

Goal

Looking like offside

Rashfooorddddddd

maik99:
The best plan is probably for Eriksen to take Bruno's position and we sign a new CM

Hahahahahaha

kozmicity:
What did McTominay do again now Nah??

Martinez already has 5 clearances at least. Where are those guys complaining about his height?

Maguire with his 6'4 frame hasn't done anything useful.

Milner telling Va Dijk what he should've done

Swap Bruno for Havertz, it's no longer VDB will bench Bruno

eph12:
I hope ETH sees this. Bruno is determined to kill us

I am sorry, he can't bench Bruno.

He's the main man

donstan18:
You can’t be normal if you don’t like Bruno as a ManU fan.

Preach

eph12:
Lmao who will save us from our captain o

Van Dee Bench

De Gea won't ever come out for high claims.

Lucky boy - Bruno

De Gea with the stupid pass

My Man - Martinez
